summary

Panelists describe concrete pathways into tech consulting: graduates join via ThoughtWorks University or internal mobility like the LTA mobility program, non‑dev hires land BA roles and learn React, Scala and TDD by pairing. Women emphasize empathy, multitasking and adaptability as strengths, introversion is compatible with consulting, and mentors often appear after asking for feedback. Panel cites rough representation numbers—about 25% women in tech overall and exec representation <10%—and recommends explicit sponsorship and skill‑focused mentoring.
